https://lawand.io/taskbar/ as well
and https://noteifyapp.com/activedock/, which is less extreme but has a start menu-like launcher option
Both have one-time/lifetime purchase options. Taskbar is $25 one-time with a free but expiring older version. ActiveDock's one-time prices are $15 (1 year of updates, but usable forever) and $60 (lifetime updates).
Another alternative is https://hypercritical.co/switchglass/ ($10 upfront) really well done.
